  1. Cohort based engagement: Directors’ League Building Quality in B Schools: Opportunities and Challenges IIM Bangalore

  2. Management education • Knowledge commission set up to study changes in overall education space in India in early 2000s • Former Directors of IIMs (including Prof. KRS Murthy from IIMB) and industry leaders part of sub committee to study management education • Drastic and relevant recommendations made, for ex allowing private players with profit repatriation subject to a cap, rather than run as “charitable trust” eMBArkers

  3. Mentoring B Schools • Section 9.7 • IIMs and other leading MEEs to adopt 3-4 MEEs in their regions • For a country of our size and diversity, we need a large number of excellent institutions. • The possibility of leveraging the better-rated institutions to develop the promising MEEs needs to be explored. • (MEE = management education entity) eMBArkers

  4. Mentoring B Schools.. • Section 9.7.1 • The better rated institutes should each adopt 3 or 4 aspirant MEEs in the region to assist them in improving levels of quality and ratings • Such assistance can be in the following processes • - Curriculum development and delivery • - Case study and teaching note exchange • - Student exchange • - Sharing of experiences in pedagogy • - Placements of students for both summer training and full time jobs • - Faculty development eMBArkers

  5. Mentoring B Schools … • Section 9.7.2 • Concerned MEEs and the better-rated institutions may arrive at mutually acceptable arrangements for funding such assistance • New IIMs being mentored by established IIMs • Case of Krupajal B School in Bhubhaneshwar, Orissa: mentored by XIMB • Both are “individualistic” in nature eMBArkers

  6. An engagement model • An engagement which can help B Schools develop themselves in a time bound and process driven way • An initiative by alumni of XLRI and IIM B to step in this space, through eMBArkers (www.embarkers.in) • Lead by an eminent personality, who has himself gone through this journey, Prof. Nagabrahmam IIM Alumnus and Former Director of TAPMI • Directors’ League: A cohort based initiative for building quality in B Schools eMBArkers

  7. Directors’ League • An engagement process with aspirant B Schools in the backdrop of the recommendations made • First hand mentoring from an achiever himself • A capable team from eMBArkers out there to help in implementation of mutually decided action points • A time bound process, which aims at enabling aspirant B Schools to build quality in them • Cohort based rather than an individual engagement eMBArkers

  8. Why cohort? • “Acharyaat paadam aadatte, • paadam shishyah swamedhayaa • Paadam sabrahmacharibyah • paadam kaalakramena cha” • An ancient Sanskrit verse on knowledge acquisition • Group wisdom: Collegium of judges/teachers, council of ministers…. eMBArkers

  9. Benefits of a cohort • Peer learning and mentoring • A healthy peer pressure for effective implementation • Availability of a larger “Devil’s Advocate” group helping to sharpen ideas, visions and action points • Cohort forms a support group for one another, when it comes to operational issues • Harvard’s Doctoral program on educational leadership aims to impact through this cohort system • Very much cost effective and value adding ! eMBArkers

  10. Directors’ League • Aims at Institute Building (not a MDP for Director) • A process driven engagement (not a directive) • Mid to long term orientation (no magic wand waving) • “Building Bandwidth in Management Education” by enabling more top class B Schools in India • Launch on 01st March, 2013 eMBArkers

  11. Some process exemplars • Academic audit • Structural changes in academic delivery (surprise quizzes, RG, project based on real data- prowess) • Collaborative research between faculty & students (Tejas@IIMB) • KM practices • Industry mentor for the school (Chairman of BoG for most IIMs for ex.) eMBArkers
